- the transparent protective element which lies in front of the lens system of the objective, is rotatably mounted and can be set into a rapid rotary movement by means of a drive, which liquid or solid precipitates on the protective element due to the acting centrifugal forces flung outwards.
- the surface of the protective element is always free of drops, streaks or snow or dirt particles.
- the housing with a cylindrical wall extends as far as the camera lens, this lens wall protects the lens system from moisture and dirt.
- the protective element is advantageously seated in the inner ring of a ball bearing by means of a holder.
- the outer ring of the ball bearing is preferably fastened in the cylindrical wall surrounding the housing opening.
- the cylindrical wall of the housing is aligned on the camera side with the mount of the lens, a ring preferably made of elastic material making the connection between the housing and the lens and overlapping and / or overlapping the outer edge of the lens without contact.
- This contact-free connection of the attachment to the lens has the particular advantage that shocks and / or vibrations of the attachment are not transmitted to the lens.
- the lens can be rotated automatically or by hand, and this rotary movement can be carried out without restrictions, unhindered by the attachment.
- a ring made of elastic material between the housing and the lens can alternatively be used, which is releasably attachable to the lens and is rotatably and axially displaceably mounted on the housing in order to prevent the twisting movements during lens adjustments to enable.
- a number of ventilation openings are preferably provided in the elastic ring and / or in the housing section adjoining it, in order to enable air to be exchanged when the outside temperature changes.
- the ring adjoining the housing on the camera side releasably attached to the lens and protrudes contactlessly a predetermined length above and / or below the housing in order to permit the rotational movement of the lens and at the same time to remove the space between the lens and the rotatable protective element against the ingress of rain, snow or dirt particles conclude.
- the drive contains a motor, which in one embodiment of the invention has at least one transmission element, e.g. a transmission belt that drives the protective element.
- a control is also provided, with which the drive can be activated once, periodically during short intervals or permanently.
- the socket of the protective element is designed as a rotor of an electric motor.
- the stator winding of the electric motor is then attached to the housing around the socket of the protective element.
- the protective element can be designed as a flat glass pane, as a lens or as a filter. If desired, a spray device can also be provided, by means of which spray liquid can be sprayed onto the rotating protective element in order to detach dirt particles or the like.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a first embodiment of the attachment
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a second embodiment of the front attachment
- FIGS. 1 or 2 shows a front view of the attachment according to FIGS. 1 or 2;
- Fig. 4 shows a cross section through a detail of a third embodiment of the attachment.
- the front attachment 1 has a housing 2, through which a cylindrical housing opening 10 extends, the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the objective 30.
- the housing 2 is composed of a front housing section 3, an adjoining central housing section 4 and a camera-side housing section 6, which are firmly connected to one another or merge into one another in one piece.
- a ring 8 Between the camera side Housing section 6 and the outer edge of objective 30 are provided with a ring 8 which is releasably attachable to objective 30 and overlaps or engages under housing portion 6 without contact and with sufficient axial play.
- the housing is coupled to the lens in such a way that the manual or automatic adjustment of the lens is in no way influenced by the attachment, but on the other hand, however, the space created by the housing opening in front of the lens system of the lens against lateral incidence is reliably shielded from rain, snow, dirt particles etc.
- the front housing section has an attachment 3a on which an electric motor 18 is fastened, the shaft 19 of which runs parallel to the lens axis 15 and carries a drive roller 20 which is enveloped by the front housing section 3.
- a transparent protection member 16 for example, a flat or convex lens, t disc or filter, arranged transversely over the entire housing opening and received by a socket-shaped ringför ⁇ fourteenth
- the socket 14 sits in the inner ring 12a of a ball bearing 12, which is embedded in the inner wall of the central housing section 4.
- the transparent protective element 16 is rotatably mounted by means of the ball bearing 12 and closes the housing opening 10 so that precipitation, snow, dirt particles can only get through the housing opening 10 to the transparent protective element 16.
- the electric motor 18 and the drive roller 20 represent parts of a drive which also contains a transmission belt 22 which runs over the drive roller 20 and the socket 14 of the protective element 16 and, when the motor 18 is activated, sets the protective element 16 in a rapid rotary movement .
- a transmission belt 22 which runs over the drive roller 20 and the socket 14 of the protective element 16 and, when the motor 18 is activated, sets the protective element 16 in a rapid rotary movement .
- the header 1 is provided with a Befest onlysele ⁇ element 28 fixed to the camera body, that • the housing opening 10 is aligned with the lens 30th
- the axial distance from the objective 30 is to be dimensioned such that there is space for the axial stroke of the objective when adjusting the objective without the objective running against the attachment.
- FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the front attachment, which largely corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, but in this embodiment the ring 8 is rotatably mounted on the camera-side housing section 6, is made of elastic material, such as, for example, soft elastic rubber, and the Outside edge of the lens 30 without contact or contact reaches under or overlaps.
- the soft-elastic material of the ring 8 must be such that the axial stroke of the objective 30 can be absorbed by the elastic deformation without noticeable exertion of force on the objective.
- the fastening element 28 can contain a cavity 29 which accommodates batteries for feeding the electric motor and the electrical control for the drive and actuating elements for the drive.
- FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the central housing section 4 of a further embodiment of the invention.
- the protective element 16 is enclosed in an annular socket 14 and extends over the entire housing opening 10.
- the socket 14 is seated in the inner ring 12a of a ball bearing 12, the outer ring 12b of which is fastened to the inner wall of the central housing section 4 is.
- the socket 12 of the protective element 16 is formed on its outer circumference as a rotor 18a l of an electric motor 18 ', the stator 18b' of which is attached to the inner circumference of the central housing section 4.
